Claudia, Richard, CJ, Ceiling, Lici and Geraldine joined the Friends of Russell Square community gardening volunteers for another crack at getting more daffodil bulbs planted so they can bloom in the spring. Last year's bulb-planting session was managed in a single day, but both weather and reduced volunteer numbers (thanks to the pandemic keeping students and local workers away) has meant the bulb-planting has had to be spread out over several weeks. Still, it was another lovely, social morning in the square, digging, planting, chatting and answering questions from curious passers-by, followed by lunch in the pub for those who lingered on. Community-making in action.

Previous Trainer for GoodGym Camden. Love a squidgy, slightly underbaked triple chocolate brownie. Running is a jam.
